Not exactly, as the car rental advertisements say. First it takes software support, which MixW lacks (Are you folks *LISTENING* to us, MixW developers?). I installed HRD and DM780 because MixW doesn't support RSID and I got so damn tired of failing to ID the correct mode/submode by ear and eye. Once the software support is present, then a click of the mouse will suffice. -- Mike Andrews, W5EGO mi...@mikea.ath.cx Frustrated old sysadmin
RE: [digitalradio] Re: Solving the RSID problem once and for all
But what about the software that doesn't send RSID? Simon Brown, HB9DRV http://sdr-radio.com -Original Message- From: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com [mailto:digitalra...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of sholtofish I guess someone could write a helper application (say on the system tray) that monitors the sound card continuously and flashes up a box with the detected mode? Not that you would be able to tune to it or reply without the appropriate software but at least it would inform you of what mode was being used.

Sholto, Simon and all, confirmation email from a distant land. For information, in the last Multipsk version, I proposed this feature (confirmation email) for almost all digital modes (including CW), through a specific sting of characters using a particular protocol (using CRC). The code (Pascal) of formation of the string of characters is public, so... http://f6cte.free.fr/how_to_use_the_r...@_email_reception_report_with_multipsk.doc 73 Patrick - Original Message - From: sholtofish sho...@probikekit.com To: digitalradio@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 10:09 PM Subject: [digitalradio] Re: Solving the RSID problem once and for all Simon, Yes that will be very interesting to see. My only thought about such a system is the complexity cost level for the average ham. Many of us on here lament about people not using RS ID or not being interested enough to try some of the more exotic modes. I don't see this ever significantly changing. For most digimode ops PSK31 RTTY are all that are important - just witness RTTY contests and the activity around 14.070. We talk about ultimate solutions but realistically this will only be a solution for a small percentage of highly technical amateurs. To state it slightly differently: For most ops the ultimate solution has already been invented namely PSK31. We are rapidly discussing developing technologies that are going to bypass a very high proportion of amateurs and to what end?

Whatever your thoughts about the ROS modem it did capture a lot of interest (and still does) because it was extremely simple to operate (therefore understandable for the average ham) and gave a reward in the form of a confirmation email from a distant land. Actually the same essential qualities that appealed to most of us when we first got into ham radio. CW was simple to operate and we looked forward to the QSL card. I'm not suggesting we abandon attempts like Simon's, far from it, but we might be deluding ourselves if we think an ultimate solution is either necessary or gained through ever more complex technology. 73 Sholto --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, Simon HB9DRV simon.br...@... wrote: I think I'm working on the 'ultimate solution' here - a SDR radio and RSID decoder where the RSID decoder analyses between 11.025 and 88.2kHz of bandwidth.
